It was bound to happen. John and I ran out Tuesday night to check on the herd, and there she was, a new born calf.
Just as we expected, 71 calved first. Everyone was so content, this was as close as we got that first night.
Got a better look today. Black baldy heifer calf, full of life and welcomed into the herd.
Pretty content in her new life on earth.
Good mom, too.
Fun stuff! Great way to start the season. There is little more that is music to my ears than a motherly moo out a first-calf-heifer. It means to me that she has accepted her motherhood and all will be well. Ranching peacefully.
